(2022) Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos

Sweet potatoes in the box remind me we have lots and lots of sweet potato recipes at grassfedcow.com but I’m adding one more. Down below you’ll find Alexandra Stoddard’s recipe for Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos. Delicious filling and a way to use some of that beautiful lettuce as well.

(2022) Roasted Poblano Strips with Cream (Rajas a la Crema)

This week’s box included a small bag of hot peppers with jalapenos, habaneros, and poblanos. The heat in poblanos can vary – sometimes mild, sometimes hot. This recipe came my way from the Splendid Table and is originally from Rick Bayless’ cookbook More Mexican Everyday. I like to save up my poblanos until I have enough for this recipe, but you could also substitute some bell peppers. The recipe suggests using the rajas as part of a vegetarian taco filling. We did that, then enjoyed the remainder in a creamy chicken dish later in the week. In addition to vegetarian tacos, rajas are the perfect accompaniment to grilled meat or fish tacos, to steak or pork chops, or to grilled, sauteed, or broiled fish or chicken.

(2022) Creamed Eggplant (Baba Ganouj)

Here’s a simple recipe for baba ghanoush from Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian. Anyone lacking inspiration for eggplants would benefit from simply reading this cookbook’s index of twenty-some eggplant recipes! Wishing I had more eggplants now.

(2022) Tomato Vinaigrette

With that one tomato, I’m going to try this Tomato Vinaigrette recipe from Emily Nunn of The Department of Salad. She adapted the recipe from “Williams-Sonoma Cooking at Home.” I’ve still got two red onions from past boxes, so I’ll put part of one to good use here.
